My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I just finished This Freshest Hell. Loved it. Didn’t see the twist coming at all. And that ending – holy hell!
An intelligent novel, it reads at first like a YA coming of age, but it becomes so much more. I saw shades of John Ajvide Lindqvist’s Let the Right One In though the pacing is snappier. It is a little gory and some of the conversations get very dark (suitably), but I enjoyed all of that. Really connected with Lily’s dilemma, and some of the latter conversations between her and best friend Maggie are very thought provoking; unexpected in a horror novel.
Can’t wait for the next one. This Freshest Hell
